Ru Zhiqiang is a native of Yanbian, Jilin Province, born in 1990.

When I was a child, my parents divorced, and no one wanted Ru Zhiqiang. His adoptive father Ru Xijun and adoptive mother Yu Zhenghua adopted him.

The adoptive parents loved the child too much and regarded him as a baby bump. His family is in the countryside, and there are nothing unusual. But what does Ru Zhiqiang want, what do his adoptive parents buy. When he reached school age, Ru Zhiqiang's "main business" was to fight, go to the game hall, and his grandmother stole the money for him to play games. The little Ru Zhiqiang is an "emperor". When he was 16 years old, Ru Zhiqiang fought with other children, and the child was in a hurry and blurted out: "Ru Zhiqiang, you were not born by your father and your mother!" ”

Ru Zhiqiang's head "buzzed" loudly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The boy said, "You want it." ”

Ru Zhiqiang understood that he was raised by his parents. It is a great shame to be abandoned by your biological parents. He stepped forward and kicked the boy, "You repeat, say I didn't want it." ”

The boy said, "You want it." ”

Ru Zhiqiang opened the bow left and right to give him a big mouth, and said, "I didn't want it." ”

The boy was subdued, covered his face and said, "You didn't want it, I wanted it." ”

Ru Zhiqiang snorted and walked away. He sat on the hillside and thought about it all the time. I actually want it, where are my biological parents? He thought about it and came up with an unbreakable truth: it is not good for biological parents to be born but not raised. His adoptive parents treat him like a heart, good. Since it's good, there's nothing to think about. Ru Zhiqiang went home and continued to enjoy life.

He studied poorly, had nothing to do after graduating from middle school, and his adoptive parents asked someone to intercede and let him join the army. In 2009, Ru Zhiqiang became a soldier in the emergency rescue squadron of the special service brigade of the Panjin City Public Security Fire Detachment, with the rank of private.

After Ru Zhiqiang entered the police barracks, he quickly understood one thing, that is, how good his adoptive parents were to him, and how stubborn he was. When he first arrived, Ru Zhiqiang couldn't stay in the police barracks for a day, and wanted to go home and see his adoptive parents. He has only one thought, to go home and farm, let his adoptive parents be idle for a few days, work part-time or do odd jobs, and earn more money to repay his adoptive parents.

When the soldier couldn't go home, he lay under the bed and cried secretly. He was homesick and thought that his tonsils were inflamed, he went to the hospital for surgery, and his comrades-in-arms went to visit him. Ru Zhiqiang called home twice in three days. There was a lot of land at home, so he asked his adoptive parents if they had hired people to breed, and the adoptive parents said that they had not. In order to save money, the old couple got up early and worked late to save a family business for him. Ru Zhiqiang became even more homesick when he heard this. In the recruit company, he was homesick and his throat was inflamed. When he got out of the company, he was so homesick that he had pimples all over his body, and he had no energy to eat, sleep, or train.

When he arrived at the fire scene on July 16, Ru Zhiqiang was like waking up from a big dream, and his heart brightened. On the evening of July 16, Ru Zhiqiang boarded a fire truck to the fire scene, and at 3 p.m. on July 19, he was sworn in as a probationary member of the Communist Party of China. Ru Zhiqiang can be said to be excited, in just two days, he is known as a bloody iron warrior, he feels that life is really wonderful, the iron and blood test on the fire field opened his mind and mind, let him feel the beauty of life.

On the day of departure, as soon as the fire truck in which Ru Zhiqiang was sitting came out of the garage, the squad leader's intercom came out with the order of the former team leader: "Our task is to reinforce the scene of the explosion and fire of the oil tank in Dalian, and all vehicles should always pay attention to driving safety." Ru Zhiqiang had just enlisted in the army for half a year, and when he heard the "oil tank explosion and fire", he began to be afraid.

Entering the position, the fire seven or eight stories high turned over, and the black fog rolled over. When Ru Zhiqiang heard that their mission was to protect the four huge oil pipelines that were burning from exploding and extinguishing the fire, he was terrified. The fire on the pipeline jumped out from the cracks, overflowing on the pipe, and shooting fireballs into the air, which was more terrible than hell, and Ru Zhiqiang was so frightened that he had no place to put his heart. The class leader shouted: "Ru Zhiqiang, follow me!" Laying water hoses. He immediately laid water hoses and set up water cannons with the squad leader, and before he knew it, they rushed to the forefront of the position and shot water into the raging oil fire. The fear in my heart was gone, and I was filled with pride. They crawled over the oil pipeline to extinguish the spilling fire on the ground. At this time, the deflagration happened, and they did not hide. The oil fire whizzed over, and they didn't retreat. What does the squad leader do, what does Ru Zhiqiang do, including helping the squad leader to help the water gun, this is a task that only the main attacker can undertake. They knelt or stood, prostrate or lie down, and launched a melee attack with the fire demons until they extinguished the fire of the four oil pipelines and the flowing fire on the ground.

They entered their positions at 3 a.m. and withdrew in the middle of the night. At the moment of withdrawing from the position, the squad leader said a word: "Ru Zhiqiang, you are a rookie, you are really good." ”

The squad leader's casual words made Ru Zhiqiang stunned, and tears flowed down involuntarily. Can I? Ru Zhiqiang has always looked down on the fear and cringe he had when he first entered the fire, but the squad leader said that he could do it.

The squad leader's words are more spiritual than the holy decree, Ru Zhiqiang felt that he was standing up to the sky and the earth in an instant, what difficulties, dangers, death, nothing great, he Ru Zhiqiang is an invincible soldier.

After having some dinner in the second half of the night, Ru Zhiqiang entered the No. 103 tank position with the squad leader. The detachment formed a strong attack group in the tank, and Ru Zhi was strong and courageous to sign up. He thought that the members of the attack team were not ordinary people, and he had only been in the army for half a year, could he do it? But the leader approved Ru Zhiqiang's request and sent him and Li Zengxiang, led by Dong Chenglong, to form a second attack group and enter the tank to attack. Ru Zhiqiang was particularly proud, full of courage and fearlessness, wearing heat-insulating clothing, wearing air breathing apparatus, and carrying a self-swinging cannon into the tank to extinguish the fire.

The conditions inside the tank were even more difficult, with thick smoke, flames, and deflagrations, and the floating roof under his feet was constantly bulging. Ru Zhiqiang doesn't care about this and that, he will do whatever the leader tells him to do. Half a year after enlisting in the army, he became a member of such a large fire field, and this kind of honor is not something that ordinary recruits can have. Even in such a hard battle, Ru Zhiqiang still chewed on the squad leader's words in his heart: "Ru Zhiqiang, you are a rookie, you are really good." Ru Zhiqiang also feels that he is really good, he is fearless no matter how hard he suffers and how dangerous he is, and he can afford the four words "move forward bravely".

On the third and fourth days of the battle, the comrades-in-arms changed shifts and rested. Ru Zhiqiang looked at the starry sky and imagined, in just two days, he made such rapid progress, and the 7.16 fire field was really his blessed land. He felt that he had won glory for his adoptive parents, and that after the battle, he might be able to make a meritorious service. If you tell your adoptive parents the news of your meritorious service, they will not be able to believe it.

After the 7.16 firefighting battle, Private Ru Zhiqiang was awarded a second-class meritorious service.
